Laughter – A Merry Heart

In Luke 6:21 Jesus is looking at people who are downtrodden and sorrowful. He says, “Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.” Jesus said, “Ye shall laugh.” Yes, there’s a time to weep, but my dear friend, you had better put some laughter in your home, especially when times get tough.

A merry heart is the ability to capture and enjoy those wonderful times of life and let them turn to laughter. A merry heart is the sign of happiness. Now, happiness and joy are not the same thing, but they are first cousins. Joy is that constant presence of God no matter what happens, but a merry heart is the ability to capture and enjoy those wonderful times of life and let them turn to laughter.

These are stories and experiences of a missionary woman, trying to shine in the midst of a dark world. Just like a star shines in the night, illuminating the way. Reflecting not her own light, but getting her light from the greatest Light of all, Jesus! Please be a star for Jesus.
